-
Add the new fields to the admin html category form at view/adminhtml/ui_component/category_form.xml and change: the field name, the label and the uploader Url

How to show the new image on frontend ?
The module comes with a block that can print any new image field on the category page frontend. Just add the following XML block under the container/block you would like the image to appear.
The above block can print category images ONLY on category pages cause it assumes there is already stored category model in core registry. If you need to print the image on other pages use the following code snippet.
